there's so much to do but so little time...its like economics applied to the real world. oppurtunity cost. its really relative. i mean look at my dad and me. we're in the same family, we're blood relatives, i share so many of his characteristics. so many. just ask my mum. but when it comes to oppurtunity cost, we're waaay different. i mean he would probably rather read some boring business book if he was free and i would probably chat or something. or whatever teeneagers do. its so relative. kudos to whoever invented it man. i mean, its right there in front of us. the root cause of our inherent differences. and some guy came up with it. out of the blue. and we had to be taught in school why we are different from others. it makes you feel really stupid. that you cant understand why you are different from others.
i feel stupid.
this comp is so slow.
are we really more intelligent than animals and machines. i mean, yeah we can talk. yeah we have emotions. yeah we have a big ol lump of grey mass up there (even though we only use like 0.4% of it or something). but are we really intelligent? i mean, isnt that an over-generalization? who defines what intelligence is? no, really. who? just coz you do better than me in a school test does that mean you are more intelligent than i am? does it mean i'm stupid? or a machine or an animal? just coz some personality test on the internet says im emotionally weak does it really mean i am? i mean, who made that personality test? was he/she qualified to determine people's emotional intelligence? and who set that test in school? is he/she qualified to determine people's intelligence? can a bunch of people in the government base their decisions on which school to send which kid to on these tests? shouldn't school be a place where all ure inherent intelligence is tested? who decides who the government is anyway? aren't we more powerful than the government anyway? what right do they have to break childrens' spirits, to tell them they're stupid and to completely demotivate them to study and work harder?
they dont have that right. nobody has that right, except maybe you yourself. only you have the right to put yourself down. to kill yourself slowly by telling yourself that you're stupid. but why would you right? why would anyone...
you have no idea.
i dont know what i wanted to actually say today...i just came online with this idea of blogging (im supposed to practicing for SAT now. if my mum finds out im screwed). and i dunno where that came from. but all of it is true. its omfg true. esp in some places, like singapore. where people dont have their priorities, or should i say, oppurtunity costs, straight.
anyway, gonna go do my SAT prep. 1 word of advise: do not re-take your SAT and even if you do, pay for it yourself man. seriously. >.<
